About the Item
This stunning 19th-century Chinese Export sewing box showcases exceptional craftsmanship and intricate decorative artistry. The rectangular box features a black lacquered surface adorned with vibrant inlaid mother-of-pearl floral motifs and detailed landscape scenes. The lid highlights a serene depiction of flowering branches and delicate butterflies, rendered in shimmering mother-of-pearl, while floral garlands embellish the sides, creating a harmonious and elegant design.
The hinged lid opens to reveal an interior likely divided into compartments for sewing tools and accessories, demonstrating the functional purpose of this exquisite piece. The original lacquer and mother-of-pearl detailing remain remarkably intact, though the box shows signs of age-appropriate wear, which adds character and authenticity.
This fine example of Chinese Export lacquerware reflects the 19th-century demand for luxurious decorative objects in Western markets. The box is both a functional sewing accessory and a striking decorative piece, perfect for collectors of Chinese decorative arts or antique lacquerware.
